New supermarket and hotel in Klink: Tourism boost for the Müritz!

In the Müritz community of Klink, there are exciting changes: A new supermarket is to be created to boost tourism and make the region even more attractive for vacationers. This 1000 square meter food discounter is built hand in hand with a new Müritz Hotel, which is expected to receive the first guests for Easter 2026. Mayor Thomas Beckmann (voter community) optimistically commented on the effects of these developments on the local economy. By creating new jobs in the hotel and the extended Müritz Clinic, he expects an increase in population in the community.

The confirmation of Dr. Douglas Fernando, Managing Director of Berliner Avila Projektmanagement GmbH, regarding the hotel building, which will take place on the site of the former FDGB home. The project recently seemed to have stalled due to high construction costs, increasing interest and the death of the architect. Now, however, a realistic perspective is emerging. The hotel with 215 rooms should finally become a reality after long delays.

new shipping investors and challenges for tourism

Another important aspect for tourism in Klink is the new ship's pier at the castle, the completion of which is planned for July 2023. The old investor was closed in November 2023 for dilapidated heritage, which caused some confusion in the community. The new investor is equipped with a steel base and the municipality costs around 520,000 euros. Mayor Beckmann points out how important this investor is for ship tourism and sees him an opportunity for the local economy.

The spa levy for vacationers, on the other hand, causes discussions. For example, children from the age of six have to pay the full tourist tax, which is criticized by some parents. Mayor Beckmann, who refers to the concept of the Müritz-Rundum partner here, sees no need for action. Overnight guests pay 2.00 euros in the high season, daily guests 1.25 euros. The levy also includes the Müritz-Rundum ticket for bus connections between partner cities, which should promote the mobility of vacationers.

successful tourism balance and challenges

A current show of tourism in the region shows gratifying figures. According to Tobias Woitendorf, head of the state tourism association, the 2024 summer balance was positive. Despite a tendency towards short -term bookings, many hosts felt greater satisfaction, especially thanks to a warm autumn that increased the demand for vacation. A total of around 33 million overnight stays in the northeast is expected for 2024, which is very popular with the region.

While the basic pillars of tourism in Klink are further strengthened by the new supermarket and the hotel, the industry also faces challenges, for example through price increases and a shortage of labor. Nevertheless, the belief in the region remains strong, because loyal regular guests from East Germany and a slightly increasing share of international tourists offer hope for the future.

The developments in Klink are a signal that is a lot here. It remains to be seen how the various projects affect the local community and whether the desired goals can be achieved. The upcoming residents' meeting, which was well attended due to the applicable parking fee schedule, offers an additional platform for the exchange between citizens and decision -makers.
